Landowners will be able to pay land development tax digitally by using their NID number very soon, says a press release received on Thursday.
The Land Development Tax system was resumed on April 25 after the system was temporarily shut down for system maintenance from April 18 to April 24 this year.
During the maintenance, a number of important updates have been made regarding the claim calculation of 40 million holdings and the land development tax system related to the 1429 Bangla new year.
The digital land development tax payment system also introduced the option of paying tax using NID number.
Land development tax can be paid digitally on the owner’s registered and holding entry land, without entering the profile of the landowner which means any person can pay the land development tax on behalf of others.
However, it will ensure that only the original owner of the land will receive the receipt to ensure property security.
In addition, while there is currently a system for making automated submissions containing QR codes within three days of payment of rent online, the immediate issuance of payment receipt is under consideration.
On September 8, 2021, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the nationwide online land development tax payment system.
On January 5, 2022, Land Minister Saifuzzaman Chowdhury inaugurated Land Development Taxes Payment by calling 16122.
